I used to use a static fs partition/lvm for /tmp, but found more cruft collected there than ever needed to long-term. I now use tmpfs, that works a lot better for me. Just add to your /etc/fstab and reboot - now wipes up after your cruft on reboots.

tmpfs   /tmp    tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777      0 0

I wouldn't clean it up manually. Some of the files may still be needed
by something. It looks like you're using Fedora or something RHEL-based,
both of which have a cleanup jump for /tmp (and /var/tmp if I remember
correctly). As long as you have cron running you shouldn't have to worry
about those directories, unless you're really really hurting for disk
space :-)

    Seem to have a lot of old stuff (old file date garbage?) in /usr/tmp.
    Is there any reason I should not delete any of this old stuff?
